#NOWPhotoHunt madness

Not only have we received a ton of great submissions from the first annual Hot Summer #NOWPhotoHunt (contest rules here), we've also learned a few things while perusing your photos. For example, anyone could win this thing. We've got veteran Instagram users churning out a lot of goodies, but there are also some newbs you've got to look out for:

We've also learned some of you deserve way, way more followers. @joeyyangli is only following one account (which is us), so maybe that has something to do with it, but his/her photos are so good! Follow this account!

And then there's a very seasoned lot of Instagram users who really know how to produce pure gold. Damn.

Tomorrow's your final day to get submissions in before we choose a winner. Good luck!
